Zverev pledged to self-isolate on Monday due to his involvement in the Adria Tour, with scientists recommending it last for two weeks due to the virus’ lengthy incubation period.
“I have just received the news that my team and I have tested negative for COVID-19,” Zverev wrote on Instagram last week.
“I deeply apologise to anyone that I have potentially put at risk by playing this tour.
“I will proceed to follow the self-isolating guidelines advised by our doctors. As an added precaution, my team and I will continue with regular testing.
“I wish everyone who has tested positive a speedy recovery. Stay safe.”
